Frontal eye field neurons orthodromically activated from the superior colliculus. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 3331-3333, 1998. Anatomical studies have shown that the frontal eye field (FEF) and superior colliculus (SC) of monkeys are reciprocally connected, and a physiological study described the signals sent from the FEF to the SC. Nothing is known, however, about the signals sent from the SC to the ...

One weakness of SQL has been its inability to express certain classes of queries, e.g., iterative queries and database schema-independent queries. Fixes to this problem generally involve embedding SQL in a more expressive language. Re ection|the ability of a language to encode arbitrary programs and evaluate these encodings during execution|can provide a seamless, natural solution. In database ...

The literature on the nature and representation of time is full of disputes and contradictory theories. This is surprising since the nature of time does not cause any worry for people in their everyday coping with the world. What this suggests is that there is some form of common sense knowledge about time that is rich enough to enable people to deal with the world, and that is universal enough...

We carried out a critical appraisal and synthesis of the systematic reviews and meta-analyses of remote monitoring for heart failure. A comprehensive literature search identified 65 relevant publications from 3333 citations. Seventeen studies fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven (41%) systematic reviews pooled results for meta-analysis. Eight (47%) considered all non-invasive r...

While the field of acute kidney injury (AKI) research has undergone exponential growth over the past 15 years, the topic of renal recovery has only recently garnered much attention. Both lack of standardized renal recovery definitions and lack of systematic assessment of AKI survivors for chronic kidney disease development pose barriers to the complete understanding of the renal recovery epidem...

Annualized output growth in the United States was highest during the 1920s, as compared to any other of Field’s (2003, 2009) growth cycles. This motivates us to address the causes of the Roaring Twenties in the United States. In particular, we use a version of the real business cycle model to test the hypothesis that an extraordinary pace of productivity growth was the driving factor. Our motiv...

We develop and compare several fine-grained parallel algorithms to compute the Cholesky factorisation of a sparse matrix. Our experimental implementations are on the Connection Machine, a distributedmemory SIMD machine whose programming model conceptually supplies one processor per data element. In contrast to special-purpose algorithms in which the matrix structure conforms to the connection s...
